Social is where energy, craft, and hospitality converge. From sunlit afternoons to vinyl-fueled nights in the hidden Listening Room, this is a space for hospitality professionals who thrive on curiosity, connection, and rhythm. 

Here, cocktails tell stories, music sets the mood, and guests are invited to linger. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a passionate team, guiding memorable experiences through service, personality, and attention to detail. Every shift is hands-on, high-energy, and designed to delight.

Contract Type: Full-Time

• Oversee scheduling, labor strategy, and daily operational readiness for a high-volume, beverage-led venue. 
• Manage inventory, cost controls, supplier relationships, and operational systems. 
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, licensing, and brand standards. 

Experience & Storytelling 

• Champion a cocktail-first program, including seasonal menus, large-format serves, wellness-forward creations, and rare spirit experiences. 
• Own the Listening Room experience; discreet entry, ritual-led pours, curated vinyl, and storytelling-driven service. 
• Collaborate closely with Culinary, Entertainment, and Leadership teams to shape pacing, mood, and guest flow. 
• Maintain consistency of tone; confident, curious, and intentional, from day service through late-night energy. 

People Leadership & Development 

• Lead, coach, and develop bartenders and service staff through mentorship, trust, and accountability. 
• Inspire commitment and high performance by enrolling buy-in rather than directing through authority. 
• Foster a culture of ownership, creativity, and emotional intelligence. 
• Act as a visible, composed leader in the room, especially during high-energy or high-pressure services. 

What You Bring 

• Proven leadership experience in beverage-led, high-volume hospitality environments. 
• Deep knowledge of spirits, mixology techniques, and modern cocktail culture. 
• A leadership style rooted in presence, collaboration, and shared accountability.

• Passion for evolving beverage programs and experiential bar models. 
• Formal beverage, spirits, or leadership education. 

Who You Are 

You are a connector and catalyst, socially confident, perceptive, and driven. You thrive in environments where energy shifts throughout the day and night, and you find purpose in shaping both the guest experience and the team behind it. 

You are persuasive without being forceful, decisive without being rigid. You lead conversations, anticipate moments, and motivate others through clarity and trust. Pressure sharpens your focus, not your tone. 

At Social, you don’t just manage operations, you set the rhythm, guide the mood, and create the conditions for nights guests will remember long after the music fades. 

Lead with intention. Stay moved.
